I wish I could find a self-hostable version of a basic family tree like this. The various genealogy apps I've set up have been too complicated and off-putting for my extended family. They just want to easily browse a family tree and see interesting dates, locations, and photos of people. This site looks pretty much at the level I'd like, but I don't feel like shoveling my personal family data to some random company.

That seems like the perfect use-case for overengineering something with a graph DB.

  It’s a DAG so you can just overengineer it with postgres and a transitive closure.

      Easy, add a “roles” temporal table to store all these rels and more. Hilarious song and a decent viz, thanks for sharing :]

  LOL - I started a side project (never finished) that leveraged Neo4J and GraphQL and attempted to mimic the GedcomX spec.

  That's what I'm using, but the uptake by others isn't good. I can't really blame them since it is a fairly heavy app with tons of reports and charts.
